Football Preview: Andress Eagles vs. Coronado Thunderbirds
The Andress Eagles will venture away from home to take on the Coronado Thunderbirds at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Andress can't be to happy about their upcoming road match considering what happened when they opened their season on the away from home on Friday. They were outmatched by El Dorado on the road and fell 48-7. Despite 115 more yards than the Aztecs, the Eagles couldn't convert that extra yardage to scores.
Meanwhile, Coronado had already won four in a row dating back to last season (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 16.5 points), and they went ahead and made it five on Saturday. They took their contest on the road with ease, bagging a 40-0 victory over the Mustangs. Given the Thunderbirds' advantage in MaxPreps' Texas football rankings (they are ranked 376th, while the Mustangs are ranked 1007th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Coronado's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Ben Wilson led the charge by throwing for 141 yards and two touchdowns. Cody Hunt was another key back, rushing for 68 yards and a touchdown.
Andress strolled past Coronado in their previous matchup back in August of 2019 by a score of 23-7. The rematch might be a little tougher for Andress since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
